Embracing the Cannabis Industry - After months of community input, well-crafted cannabis ordinances were added to the City’s Municipal Code. This new, legalized, industry will bring cultivation and manufacturing, processing, transportation, security, research labs and other support businesses to the City. In turn, this new industry will be creating jobs, driving infrastructure improvements and expansion as well is generating significant tax revenue that will be recirculated throughout the City again and again.

The influx of business and industry moving to California City is spurring millions of dollars of new investment. New housing is being permitted, groundbreakings for several cultivation and manufacturing facilities, and a new shopping center is being built. This growth trend is expected to continue well into 2019 and beyond. Grants and business growth are contributing to robust infrastructure upgrades and expansion.

Business/Community Quote “We are within a two hour drive of world class museums, entertainment, shopping and beaches to the south, or the incredible High Sierras to the north. One of the gems of the state park system is just twenty minutes to the north. California City, with its clean air and water, low traffic, low cost of living and endless vistas, recreation and nature outside the backdoor, is an amazing place to live and conduct business in.” - Alexia Svejda, President California City Chamber of Commerce
